"Your Forest," a board book created for very young children, marks a new departure for Jon Klassen, different from his previous artistic style.
This is your sun.
It's rising to greet you.
These are your trees.
Let them bask in the sun.
As you turn the pages, simple yet distinct scenes depict familiar objects. The rolling eyes of the characters drive the story forward, while the concise, poetic text is perfect for reading aloud at a gentle pace, drawing children into the narrative. As each character appears, a forest gradually takes shape. Finally, as the sun sets and night falls, the story concludes, and the children contentedly close the book.
The story is "quiet," without major plot twists, yet the characters' eyes are "expressive." When reading with children, you might encourage them to follow the eyes of the sun, trees, cabin, rocks, river, and more, as they explore the book's world with peace of mind and boundless imagination.
